The Private Sector in the REDD+ Supply Chain: Trends, challenges and opportunities

The document argues that private sector involvement is critical for bridging the financing gap and providing technical expertise necessary for the success of REDD+ initiatives. It highlights the importance of diversifying funding sources and developing market-based approaches, as recognized at the 17th Conference of the Parties, to mobilize private finance. The brief is based on research involving interviews with over 40 developing-country decision-makers and implementers to identify private sector players, their motivations, and the challenges they face in the REDD+ supply chain.

• Private sector engagement is essential for the success of REDD+ because it can scale up investment to address funding gaps and provide critical technical expertise to mitigate climate change by addressing deforestation drivers.
• Progress toward mobilizing private finance for REDD+ was advanced at the 17th Conference of the Parties through the recognition of alternative funding sources and the potential for market-based approaches.
